Course Description
The Niskaportti Golf Course is located in a beautiful rural environment, on an isthmus between lakes Kirkkojärvi and Urajärvi. The course has been built on the land of the Niskaportti farm, the history of which extends back to the 17th century. The site used to house a wealthy farm, and the old buildings now serve Iitti Golf. The golf course was designed by Lassi-Pekka Tilander. The design was based on the idea of making an as pleasant course as possible for players of all levels. The modern design of the fairways brings a right kind of challenge to the game. The time-honoured and valuable buildings of Niskaportti located within the area are supervised by the National Board of Antiquities of Finland. It is a matter of honour to us to cherish the traditions and take care for the environment as carefully as possible.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions about Par 3
Get answers to common questions about playing Par 3 and what to expect.
How difficult is Par 3 for mid-handicap golfers?
Players often find Par 3 technically exacting. With a slope of 120, it remains playable for a wide handicap range. The course rating of 70 reflects on scoring relative to par 27.
What tees should a 15 handicap play at Par 3?
A 15 handicap golfer should consider tees closer to 6000 yards. The back tees extend to 6500 yards, which makes approach shots longer and scoring more challenging.
What is considered a good score at Par 3?
With a course rating of 70 and par 27, a mid-handicap golfer would typically score in the mid to high 80s. Stronger players aiming to break 27 must manage approach shots and avoid penalty strokes.
How long is Par 3 and how does yardage affect play?
Measuring 6500 yards at maximum length, scoring depends more on placement than raw power.
What type of course is Par 3 and how should I play it?
Par 3 is designed as a Parkland layout. Overall, the setup will reward players who place the ball in safe positions far from hazards. Also, type of shot is more crucial rather than just trying to gain distance.
What features make Par 3 strategically challenging?
The combination of a slope rating of 120 and yardage reaching 6500 yards creates consistent pressure on approach shots. You will need to balance risk and reward, especially on longer par 4s and protected greens.
